The Lightning Dragon God Douluo
Chapter 10

Ryusei and Tang Hao stepped into the Star Duo Forest and began to search for the Spirit Beast. Tang Hao asked him, "So, what are your plans now? You first want to fight the Beast or just absorb the Spirit Energy in the forest."

Ryusei was speechless for some time and replied, "I think I should probably start by fighting with ferocious beasts because I don't really have any combat abilities and after improving my combat abilities, I think I should start with fighting beasts, I will absorb Spirit Energy from the area."

Tang Hao nodded at her answer and then the two proceeded to look for the Beast. After some time, they found the Phantom Leopard sitting on a tree branch with an unreadable expression on its face. It was a 2000 year old Beast and was pure Black in color and Ryusei could see a faint yellow light shimmering from his eyes.

He felt that the Phantom Leopard was vulnerable right now. After observing him for longer, he adjusted his body to jump into the tree. He was ready to use the Purple Lightning Dragon's Claw to kill the leopard, he leaped upwards like an arrow towards its location.

He soon reached near the Phantom Leopard, which seemed to be too late to notice his presence. Slowly turning towards Ryusei, it leapt back to dodge Ryusei's attack.

When Ryusei saw him jump back, he stopped channeling the Purple Lightning Dragon's Claw as it would be useless to use it. Phantom Leopard turned his gaze filled with anger and injustice towards his enemy. Very angry at the fact that someone dared to attack him when he rested in the branch peacefully, taking care of his own business.

Ryusei reached the place where the Phantom Leopard was sitting peacefully and turned towards the Phantom Leopard, seemingly tense, ready to pounce on Ryusei at any moment. After a long staring contest, the Leopard Phantom gave up and finally jumped at its target. Ryusei smiled as he looked at this and thought, 'Come on!'

The Phantom Leopard suddenly pounced towards him but was countered by Ryusei who also jumped towards the Phantom Leopard, kicking it away while the two of them were in midair. As a result, the Phantom Leopard was finally thrown back into the tree.

Ryusei lands on the ground maintaining his center of gravity. He harnessed the excessive energy to spin and turned towards the Phantom Leopard. It seemed to have managed to recuperate from the attack and managed to blend in with the Shadows and disappear from his sight.

Ryusei was surprised by the spectacle because he did not expect that a low-level beast like the Phantom Leopard would have the ability to hide away just like that. He then began to observe his surroundings, just as a shadow crept towards him. As the Phantom Leopard approached its position, it stiffened the muscles of its hind legs and pounced on Ryusei leaking the intent to kill. He did not realize there was a grinning smile on the boy's face – Ryusei was ready for his attack.

He leaped upwards into the air, turned around and used the tree behind him as a foothold and dove swiftly towards the face of the Phantom Leopard first. This time he activated the Purple Lightning Dragon Claw. His entire left hand turned into claws and had scales similar to those of a Dragon with Purple Lightning flickering around him. From afar, it just looked like a purple laser explosion.

He swung the Purple Lightning Dragon Claw at the Phantom Leopard and tore its body apart, killing it at the same time. After killing the Phantom Leopard, Ryusei stood up and turned towards Tang Hao who was coming towards him.

Ryusei then ordered him, "I will now absorb the Spirit Energy around here, protect me until then." Tang Hao nodded as his protection was the reason why he had come with him. He sensed the aura of Azure Dragon Spirit emanating from his body as all of the Spirit Energy in the area began to move towards Ryusei's body, which looked like the eye of a storm.

After he finished absorbing the Spirit Energy, Ryusei stood up and was about to recall the Azure Dragon Spirit when he heard the sound of someone fighting. He looked to the side on Tang Hao's face and it seemed like he had heard nothing. He was quite surprised by this anomaly because it meant that his spirit gave him better senses than even the Titled Douluo. The strength exerted by his spirit was completely ridiculous beyond belief, even changing the performance of his body to a frightening extent.

He said to Tang Hao, "There's someone fighting nearby. Come on, let's go and see." Tang Hao looked puzzled as he did not feel anyone fighting in the nearby area. Nevertheless, he still followed Ryusei as he trusted his judgment and ran towards the north direction of – which was none other than the area within the Star Duo Forest.

After running for a while, they finally reached the fighting ground. It's between humans and animals. They could hear the man speak, "Rongrong, I have managed to drain it completely. Come on, kill and absorb your first spirit ring."

Behind her was a little girl who physically looked to be around 6 years old with pink hair and very white skin. Seeing him, he was shocked at the similarity between his face and his childhood friend. This made him remember about his childhood friend Rou-Rou and he was a bit sad. Holding back his emotions, he turned his head towards the ferocious Beast that was about to die.

It was a 300-year-old Gray Steel Ape and the only distinguishable feature was a body filled with power. It exerted a certain amount of strength and Spirit-type Strength. He scanned the body of the Monkey, noticed his breathing and some suspicious movements from his body. He was a detective in his past life, and he had very strong observations.

He turned towards the man and the girl and loudly said, "Go away from the Beast. It was faking his exhausted state!" The man heard his voice and instinctively pulled back the girl, kicking the Beast.

The man turned his head towards Ryusei and looked very surprised that the one who warned them was a boy who was about 6 years old. She then turned towards the man beside her and was surprised to see that the man felt familiar with her. Tang Hao looked at the man and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since we met, haven't you, Ning Fengzhi?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled and replied, nodding, "Yes, it has indeed been too long since I met you, Tang Hao." He then turned his gaze to Ryusei and asked, "Who is this brat beside you? Is he your son?"

Tang Hao chuckled at the question, "No, no. He is the son of my friend. He asked me to take him to the Star Duo Forest because he wanted to have the spirit ring first." Ryusei heard his words and quickly suppressed his Spirit Power to that of rank 14.

Ning Fengzhi smiled at the answer and then turned towards the boy and replied, "Thank you for the warning and saved my daughter. I was wondering ... how did you know that the Beast faked his fatigue?"

Ryusei looked at him with a flat expression, a trademark of his detective days and logically replied, "It's easy to see how the Beast fakes it. The first point you ignore is that only his Irregular Breath makes you think that the Beast is exhausted while not paying attention to the fact how his muscles are not moving. Basic knowledge of anatomy reveals how when we are exhausted, our heart pumps blood very quickly which causes the blood vessels in our body to beat, expand and contract. an increase in blood pressure will leave certain signs on the body, which, although difficult to notice, will be noticeable. However, the muscles on the Beast's body showed no signs of the phenomenon.to deduce from this observation how it meant that the Beast simply took a deep breath and acted as if it had been depleted. "

He then turned his head westward, looked at the tree and replied in a bored and annoyed tone, "Well, it's not like his life is in danger. Our friends or acquaintances here are already ready to attack to kill the Spirit Beast in an unexpected case. Also, don't ask why random people can help, I don't want to explain the obvious. "
